Mothership One-Shot - Decagone

You smelled them, the pheromones the woman's cybermod was emitting, but your brother followed her before you could warn him. He waved you to leave, go home, but the sinking feeling in your stomach told you to follow. They go down an alleyway and just as you turn the corner, you see the flash of a nanoblade coming out of her finger and swiping across his throat. Before his body hits the ground a swarm of rats are crawling over his body, chewing through muscle and bone. You dive out of the mouth of the alley, out of sight, but you can still smell the blood, still hear the chittering and chewing. You take off running for home, not looking back to see if you were spotted.

Mothership is a science fiction horror rpg with a focus on roleplaying and narratives shaped by player choices. Players will take on the role of a crew scavenging derelict ships, investigating remote outposts, encountering strange new alien threats, and trying to survive the inhospitable environment of outer space.

No experience is necessary to join these sessions. I'll go over some of the core mechanics before the game, the rest is simple enough to learn as you go.

Players will need:
- Dice: You'll need a D10, D% (or a second D10), and a D20
- Pen and paper for notetaking
- A Mothership 1st Edition character (pre-made characters will be available, or players can create their own)
